Upon enabling Chrome Remote Desktop on a remote computer that I might need to covertly access from time to time, and having it's physical location in more than less PITA location, I opted for something quick and dirty. Enter Chrome spyware. :D

Problem was, chrome would flash some window in 30 milliseconds and be gone.

This bug report details what I was experiencing, and the TL;DR version is summarized here.

Install the deb file, and now you should be able to generate pins from your Ubuntu computer.
